This document discusses using crowdsourcing and collaborative mapping during emergency responses. It describes an exercise where citizens reported missing person locations in real-time to emergency responders. The exercise highlighted opportunities to improve data sharing and geolocation across organizations. Web and mobile technologies can enable broader collaboration and use of real-time geodata to better inform emergency response and the public. However, challenges remain around data reliability, validation procedures, and organizational adoption of new approaches.
